Warning: Do Not Read This Post
I'm feeling meloncholy. So, if you're here to read my second-rate wit, you'll just have to get it from somewhere else. *crickets chirp* Okay, now that I'm all alone, and because I'm feeling kind of morbid, I'll now proceed to catalog some things that have been on my mind (for posterity).
1) I am failing Physics. That's right...anybody that ever thought I was smart can now disillusion themselves. And, I'm not saying that my average has barely dipped into failing territory...I got a 22 on the last EXAM. Of course, with the 30 point curve that the teacher (if you can call him that) gave the class, I'm....still FAILING. Now, I don't care about excuses or extraneous circumstances; I'm failing a class. And, since my entire ego is pretty much based on my intellect, I now realize that I've got nothing. No fallback. I'm not pretty. Not athletic. Not charismatic. My whole life, I've been smart. Now, I've got nothing. Time to start looking for a job as a drunken village idiot. Hope I don't mess that up.
2) My BFF has a new boyfriend, and I'm now second fiddle. I completely realize that it's petty and childish of me to not wish someone I care about happiness. But, too bad. Me! Me! Me! I'm jealous that someone who has known my BFF for only 1.3 months now has more influence than I do after 26.7 years. And I hate that I'm jealous. I wish I were the bigger man. Emotionally, that is. I could totally kick most asses physically. If only I were a caveman, I could just club people until the world was the way I wanted. Then being 6'6" and 300 pounds would be an asset and not just a reason that no one will ever date me. Which brings us to
3) I've been dieting. Now, I'm hungry and NOT ANY THINNER. Seriously, I think my metabolism is the most adaptable metabolism in the world. I cut back to healthy levels and nothing happens. Same size. I have to practically starve myself (not exagerating) to lose any weight, and then it comes off really quickly. But, you're not supposed to starve yourself....it's unhealthy or something. And, if I starve myself, I start getting headaches and dizziness. Again, the irony is that a maleable metabolism would be a total asset in almost any other time period in the world. I hate irony.
4) I thought that I could be one of those people who could work and go to school full-time. But, I don't think I am. I think that I'm slowly going insane. I need sleep. And multiple days off each week. Sometime, when I remember that I still have a minimum of five years before I graduate, I physically twitch. And the sad thing is that I actually enjoy school. I used to be good at it, and I enjoy learning new things. But, since I wasn't born wealthy, there just isn't any feasible way for me to go to school and not work 40 hours. And, I can't go to school part time and get any sort of good grant. It's the story of my life. If I like or want something, it's always has strings attached that make it unbearable or impossible. I hate catch-22's
5) I met this guy on myspace. I decided to be myself (for the most part) and chatted for a couple of weeks with him. Then he stopped responding. See, I forgot that I'm completely unlikable. I have to cater to everyone around me all the time just so that no one hates me. Cause, in past experience, those are the results. Cater or hate. And sometimes catering isn't enough. Oh, of course I don't mean YOU. You're the one person who understands me. And, changing the subject...I realize that is how it is on the internet. People lose interest etc. But my sole reason for joining myspace was to talk to him (my neighbors conned me into it), and now, I have strangers writing to me. I don't like strangers. I never know what to say. I hate social awkwardness. Speaking of which...
Well, that was...probably vaguely offensive. Good thing no one was reading it. *nervous laugh* But, I do feel better. Blogs are way cheaper than therapy.

Ahh. So the myspace profile had an ulterior motive.

A) We're still here, and still love you even when you aren't witty and happy.
B)Failing one class doesn't make you worthless. You are making a fallacy of perfection AND a fallacy of overgeneralization. (I learned that in Interpersonal Communications.) I failed Anatomy and Physiology. But I'm still smart. Just not smart at that. And having a crap teacher isn't your fault.
C) I KNEW you were jealous! And I'm sorry. I still love you. But you had to realize that I wouldn't be single forever, I hope. I've been through what you're going through several times, and it gets easier every time. Uh. . .that probably didn't help much. But you know, it would probably help if you stopped being jerky to me everytime I try to talk to you. Just saying. And I'm not going away, just not spending quite as much time with you.
D) I'm sorry you're having trouble losing weight. I would offer advice, but. . .well, you're the person I go to for advice about this sort of thing. So, uh, good luck! You wanna borrow my book of spells? Maybe Hecate could help ya out!
E) I coulda told you that you wouldn't enjoy going to school full time AND working full time. (Actually, I think I did tell you.) That's hard! Don't feel bad that you're stressing, anybody would be! I feel stressed and I'm only taking 2 classes. I can't really think of a solution. Wanna rob a bank?
F) Yeah, that happens on myspace. Both the people suddenly losing interest for no discernable reason and the strangers writing you. But, hey, people are writing you, so that's something!
G) I think my comment is ALMOST as long as your post! WHEEEE! I love long comments!

V) Yep. The appeal of strangers seeing my intimate details and perhaps pestering me just wasn't enough.
A) That's real easy to say. But, later you accuse me of being jerky. What do you think I'm like when I'm not witty nor happy?
B) Tell that to my PERMANENT transcript.
C) I thought you would start to date someone, I would get to know them and approve, then your relationship would evolve from there. I didn't expect you to join a Lawrence Cult, start spending the minimum amount of time with me possible, and be half-asleep during the time I do have. But, you are right. I'll try to cater...uh...I mean be nicer to you when I do see you.
D) Me and Hecate aren't talking right now.
E) Yes. But Lawrence isn't invited to the robbery.
F) I exaggerated. It's only one person. Who's 18. And Catholic. There ain't no way I'm dating a Catholic...uh...I mean an 18 year old.
G) It's only about half as long.

I could be rude and point out that part of the reason I spend more time with Lawrence is that I don't have a car, through no fault of my own, and Lawrence is willing to pick me up and bring me home. Can you make that claim? Hmmm? Hmmm? Didn't think so.

Do YOU? DO YOU? DO YOU SEE JOSH?!? Oh, well, that's good then. :)

I hear you've been making mom cry in public places again. Good job, you MONSTER!! just kidding! Mom cry's like a fountain. :)
By Margie the Pickle Princess, at March 17, 2006 1:58 PM
Um. . .that shoulda been cries not cry's. Ah ha ha ha ha.

Hey-I had a thought on your weight loss woes. Maybe you have a thyroid problem? eh? It's a possibility. Mom had a thyroid problem at some point and these things are genetic. If your thyroid is sluggish it could keep you from losing weight. You can get it tested at Planned Parenthood for like $65. At least I think you can. They test boys, right? Maybe you could go in for an HIV or Herpes test and ask them to slip in a thyroid test while they're at it. :)
